Equipment

high-speed blender

Ingredients

1 cup cashew milk unsweetened
1 tbsp raw cashews
½ banana
½ cup cherries frozen
1 packet açaí puree frozen
1 serving homemade protein powder optional

Instructions

Blend cashews and cashew milk with banana and cherries. Blend until smooth.
Add açaí packet. Blend until creamy.

Notes

If you can't find fresh cherries, look for frozen organic cherries in the freezer section of most grocery stores.
Soak cashews in cashew milk overnight for a creamier smoothie.
Decrease the liquid to 1/2 cup and top with your favorite fruits and granola, for a delicious breakfast açaí bowl.
Feel free to swap the frozen açaí packet for dried açaí if that's easier for you to find.
